Dear sirs,

Further to your letter of the 10th June and our reply of the 14th ultimo, we now have pleasure in returning two Contact Breakers to which we have fitted Tungsten Composition Contacts of two distinct types. We have marked one "L" which please refer to in future as No. 454, and the reference number of the one which is not marked is 425. We would be glad if you would kindly watch behaviour of the two separate types and advise us of results.

EL

Yours faithfully,
FOR THE L.P.S. ELECTRICAL CO.
